    Probably something that could have got tony kicked out.

    I doubt that it would have been good news for him otherwise it would have been let to air.

        An internal Downing Street e-mail between two members of Tony Blair's inner circle is at the centre of an injunction against the BBC.

        The Attorney General obtained an injunction against the BBC to stop it broadcasting an item on Friday night.

        The details obtained by the BBC could have been central to the investigation into an alleged Downing Street cover-up over the cash for honours affair.

        But the police were concerned that the BBC could hamper their inquiries.

        The inquiry began a year ago into claims that honours were granted in exchange for loans to the Labour party.

        It has recently expanded into an investigation into allegations of attempts to pervert the course of justice.

          Check out blogs like Guido Fawkes, Iain Dale, ConservativeHome, etc. You'll find out a bit more.

          There is also a story going around that it was leaked (by ? ) to deliberately scupper the chances of a trial. The country has got so mad that such a wild idea is no longer seen as so wild after all.

            My thoughts have been along the line of, 'why no leaks to scupper a fair trial?', for quite a while now.

            So not at all a wild idea.

              This is firmly in the 'you could not make it up' department. Telegraph

                Whoever leaked the email to the BBC - I assume they will be charged with attempting to pervert the course of justice?
